Community guidelines

Sinco is a space for human creation, sharing and conversation. These guidelines are the user policy that applies to all Projects, Steps, Artworks, comments, replies, messages, Traces, reports and other interactions on the platform.

Before using social features or publishing content, every member must explicitly accept these Community Guidelines in the app. Sinco may require renewed acceptance when an important new version of the guidelines takes effect.

Minimum age

Sinco is reserved for people aged 18 or older. The app asks for a date of birth to calculate eligibility for this threshold. The date of birth entered for this check is not stored by Sinco; only confirmation of eligibility for the current minimum-age policy is recorded.

1. Prohibited content and behaviour

• harassment, intimidation, threats or hate speech;
• violent or shocking content, or content that glorifies violence;
• any child sexual abuse or exploitation (CSAE), child sexual abuse material (CSAM), sexual solicitation of minors, grooming, sextortion or sexualisation of minors;
• pornography, non-consensual sexual content or abusive sexual content;
• impersonation, fraud, scams or manipulation;
• spam, abusive solicitation or coordinated inauthentic posting;
• illegal content or encouragement of illegal or dangerous activity;
• publishing another person’s personal information without permission;
• circumventing safety, moderation or blocking systems;
• AI-generated or AI-altered content, unless Sinco expressly announces an exception for a specific feature;
• fake or misleading content intended to pass artificial production, a deceptive staging or someone else’s work off as human creation.

2. Child safety — CSAE and CSAM

Sinco has zero tolerance for child sexual abuse and exploitation. CSAE and CSAM are strictly prohibited, including in private messages.

When content that may constitute CSAM is reported or detected, Sinco may disable access to it, preserve information needed for review and take appropriate action on the relevant account. When content is confirmed as CSAM, Sinco handles it in accordance with applicable law, including reporting to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) or the relevant regional authority where required.

Sinco’s designated child-safety contact is moderation@sinco.fr.

3. Human creation and authenticity

On Sinco, YOUR art is yours. Projects, Steps and Artworks must reflect a genuine process and be presented honestly. AI-generated images or videos are prohibited, as are other forms of AI-generated or AI-altered content.

See the Human Creation Charter for the detailed framework.

4. Reporting, blocking and moderation

The app provides mechanisms to report users and different types of content or interactions, and to block another user. Reports may lead to human review and moderation action where necessary.

Sinco also uses automated checks on certain published content and text fields to help identify abusive, dangerous, misleading or otherwise prohibited material. These checks are not guaranteed to detect every violation and supplement reports and human review.

5. Possible actions

• remove, hide or disable access to content;
• restrict certain features;
• block or suspend an account;
• initiate account deletion;
• make reports to competent authorities or organisations when required by law.
